But it doesn’t take an expert to read the story so many hands tell ~those of a housewife, for instance. If they are red, rough and coarse looking, an average person can tell that she thoughtlessly uses some common household soap which irritates and roughens the skin. Intelligent housewives nowadays choose the kind of household soap they use as carefully as they do their toilet soap. And to get a soap for every house- hold and laundry purpose as harmless to their hands as is the most exquisite toilet soap, the modern house- wife insists upon Kirkman’s, * . * HE reason is that Kirkman’s Soap, being free from irritating lye, will not harm the skin or injure the most delicate fabrics. It is made of the purest and finest materials. It contains absolutely no adul- terants such as starch, talc or water-glass, which have no cl‘eamin; value.
